I picked up the DVD in Belfast a couple of months ago. It's got some pretty odd bits and all, but I've not yet managed to watch the whole thing in one sitting without falling asleep, so it can't be all that bad.

David Lynch's Eraserhead — for future Dads, anyway...!

last house on the left :eek:

messed up film

calculon

stephen king's IT

saw it when i was 4/5 couldnt go to a circus for years

herobear

what about irreversible ?

thats one crazy messed up film.
also saw natural born killers last night....thats pretty messed up too

joe_chicken

not that its that screwed up...

but certainly the film that disturbed me the most was Arlington Road

the most screwed up ending in any hollywood movie!!!

Frank Grimes

The uncut version of Cannibal Holocaust is pretty heavy going, don't know if I'd call it disturbing though.
Also, Rules of Engagment is pretty bad in it's protrayal of the two sides.

I agree. It reminds me of a nightmare.

Tivoli

troy spoiler ish

i thought the first time achilies kills in the troy film was the most disgusting scene ever

p.pete

Saw a documentary last night about the film "Bumfights: Cause for Concern", very disturbing...

Gordon

Eraserhead was pretty f*cked up, so was Tetsuo Iron man.

Although I saw this film the other day and I swear to god it really freaked me out, I haven't been freaked out for ages at films and then I saw this.
It was called Picnic at hanging rock. Yes, I'm a big girls blouse but it really freaked me out. Especially the end.

Sleepy

Has to be Happiness. Depraved and sick, purely for the sake of it. Solondz seems to be one of those fuckwits that maintain if something is sick, it's art.:rolleyes:

TUTS

id have to agree with sleepy .... happiness is not a happy film! Fluckin Sick!

Agent Orange

Pink Flamingos

"Rated NC-17 for a wide range of perversions in explicit detail."

The singing asshole and the dogcrap eating are particularly memorable.

kmick

"Requiem For A Dream" - should be standard viewing for people who think that taking heroin is cool.

TUTS

Why would people taking heroin think they're cool? I doubt anyone takes heroin to be cool.

Savage Film though! The fridge the fridge!

Requiem For A Dream is not about heroin use its about addiction heroin is never metioned or seen in the movie

you totaly missed the point of the movie

kmick

People taking Heroin do not think they are cool you misunderstood. Did you ever hear of "Heroin Chic". If not then I cant help you further.

ChipZilla

I did find Threads disturbing, but in a different way from a video nasty. Scared the sh*te out of me the first time I saw it, but I suppose I was about 8 at the time...

What did you think Jared Leto was injecting into his arm?

You need to rewatch the movie Tuxx. And what is the big difference between heroin use and adddiction.

Must get myself a copy of that. Sounds good.

Aye... Requiem For A Dream was pretty fúcked. I also think Ichi the killer was fúcked up, and fail to understand why it's deemed to be soo good.

i have watched it twice heroin is not seen nor mentioned

Chinafoot

Yeah his mother became delusional on Diet pills. If you think heroin is not in this film you are also delusional.

Illkillya

Irreversible was the most disturbing that I have seen.

Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer second on the list.

Tuxx i agree with you that in a broad sense the movie is about drug addiction but Jared Leto's character does use heroin.

If I totall missed the point you tell me what the point is.

keu

the passion by mel gibson. one very disturbing movie. thrillers and chillers, thrill and chill, you walk away without much hesitation, but that movie made me vomit.
Not sure why or how, I don't usually get too disturbed watching voilent scences but I think probably because the graphic bits were very very graphic and lasted for aaages.
It's one thing to watch someones head being blown off in a movie..its usually a momentary glance but I think suffered some post traumatic stress after watching all that scourging...just went on and on and on and on until your at the point where you want to get up and kick the screen if it doen't move into another scene quickly......really played around with the head.


btw...no didn't see the heroin movie, just replied in response to post title.

the film is about addiction. the theme is addiction is bad
it does involve heroin though, whether its mentioned or not, and saying that it doesnt is being either a) blind b) stuck up your own ass

And this is from the director himself link

:
Why are so many young, talented filmmakers drawn to drug movies, particularly heroin movies? At this point, heroin movies are almost their own genre.

"Requiem for a Dream" is not about heroin or about drugs. In fact, I was never interested in making a movie about junkies -- I find junkies really boring and uninteresting. What was amazing to me about the novel, and what I tried to do in the movie, was the counterpoint of this Sara Goldfarb story, which completely deconstructed the movie as a drug movie. The Harry-Tyrone-Marion story is a very traditional heroin story. But putting it side by side with the Sara story, we suddenly say, "Oh, my God, what is a drug?"

What Selby is saying is that anything can be a drug -- it doesn't have to be smack. It could be TV, it can be coffee, it can be chocolate, it can be food, it can be hope, it could be love, it could be sex. The idea that the same inner monologue goes through a person's head when they're trying quit drugs as with cigarettes, as when they're trying to not eat food so they can lose 20 pounds, was really fascinating to me. I thought it was an idea that we hadn't seen on film and I wanted to bring it up on the screen.

Happy Tuxx?

yup thats the point i was trying to get across but was failing

and this is why its never clear in the movie what drug it is because it dosnt matter

meatball

Flower of Flesh and Blood.

The end of Don't look now is pretty f*cked.

yeah, and happiness is quite a dark 'comedy' isn't it??

Audition, very scary and interesting,

but for ye hard-stuff lovin guys, by Miike Auditions director, Visitor Q.

necrophelia, rape, breast milk and all in the name of good old family values. no, seriously. look it up its about family values.

I luuuuv the sickness

embee

The Passion Of The Christ.

Kids.

Thirteen.

The Truman Show.

Anyone check out that film 'the idiots'? Basically it's about a bunch of idiots who get their thrills out of acting like mentally disabled people in public. Very f*cked, especially the huge wincing tension at the very end of the film.

Oh yes, and don't forget crash, with it's stupidly dangerous renactments of classic celeb car crashs of the 50's, and James Spader finding a new use of this girl's wound.

Yo Mamma

Let us not forget:

VIDEODROME

or

Naked Lunch

Truly weird.....

neXus9

How about dead ringers, there is nothing worse than a f*cked up gynecologist.
Also it's not very nice how the twin let's his brother have a go at his girlfriend without her knowing:eek:.

Also there's a film called kissed about a girl who falls in love with a dead guy. Not disturbing since it's quite restrained in the visual aspect of things, but still weird all the same (when she's a kid there's a scene where she gets off on smelling a dead crow:dunno: ). If there is a shock to be had in this film it's the way in which it has such a soft approach to the this subject.

daveg

Ringu freaked me out big time. Irreversible for the nightclub fight/rape scene. Tbh it was a shíte film. Totally relied on the shock value of the film to make it big. Boy did it succeed.

acid

Tim Roth's first film as a director was called "The War Zone" and is easily the most disturbing film I've seen.

Hecate

Threads.

This is BBC docu-drama about the effects of a nuclear war on a small community in sheffield. The events leading up to the outbreak of war were extremely plausible at the time, and the depection of the survivors dealing with the harsh reality of the 'threads' of society completly unraveling (hence the title) is very disturbing to watch. Most post apocalyptic films portray a 'lone hero' cruising the wasteland or some such, you won't find any of that here. Theres no hope, no heros and no happy ending....and no mullet wearing, leather-clad bikers either

A lot of so called 'shocking' films lose their effect over time, but this has definatly not. And given the current world situation I think it has a very relevant message to put across.

There have been one or two posts about it here already but its difficult to emphasise how freaky this film is, you really have to see it for yourself.
